That is a very dangerous move to put Ray King on the roster. I know we have no other choice, but I would way rather go with a right-hander any day then have the left-handed monster King throw to one batter and mess everything up. I would like to know when his contract runs out so we can start making plans to send him as far away from St. Louis as possible. And they should have fit Little Skip Schumaker onto the roster somewhere.

kit_cat,
Way too harsh on Ray, he’s struggled a bit this year but he’s done his job more than not. Lefties hit .244 against him this year which isn’t too bad. So if he gets out 3 out of every 4 lefties he faces than I can accept that. And thats why he’s on the roster…to take care of lefties which he is more than capable of doing. Just thought you should cut a Cardinal whose had a rough year on and off the field a little slack.

I guess you’re right, but I still think we need to get rid of him. We need a strong lefty who can handle any challenge thrown at him. And Ray needs a club that will sit back and be patient with him while he works through his kinks. And I still would like to know when his contract runs out.

I’m glad to see the Cards up 2-0, but we can’t discount woody…he knows our guys and knows how to pitch them. As much as I would like a sweep, we cant take it for granted against him. Holler back…Go Cards!!!
